No Churn Ice Cream

[valkryor]

I had a can of sweetened condensed milk in the cupboard that I did not know what to do with. It's also summer now, and some days are so fucking hot it's crazy, so why not make some ice cream. I do have a machine, but I wanted to try a No Churn recipe. Based loosely off this one from Glen and Friends I came up with something that I think is going to be fucking fantastic. Also, this was a perfect opportunity to have kid help, as the recipe came together in less than 30 minutes.

No Churn Ice Cream

Ingredients:

3 c 35% cream (also known as heavy cream or whipping cream)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

12 mint Oreos, roughly chopped (it worked out to 2/3 of a standard package)

1 1/2 tbsp vanilla (or thereabouts as I don't measure vanilla and haven't in years)

Method:

1. Stick your container of choice in the freezer (I didn't, as I was using a couple of plastic, reusable take out containers and not a glass dish) to prechill it. It will still work without doing so, just take longer for the finished product to freeze.
   
2. Whip cream to just soft peaks.
   
3. Add in condensed milk and vanilla, whip to combine fully.
   
4. Fold in Oreos (or just dump them in and let the hand mixer do it's thing).
   
5. Pour into container, freeze for at least 4-5 hours.
   
6. Om nom nom nom.

Not gonna lie, the bits that I did taste (off a beater and from the bowl) were so fucking good. Not too minty, although the chocolate was pretty subtle. We'll see what it's like when it's finally frozen.

That sounds dangerously easy and delicious. And also a fun kid activity! I would have adored making ice cream with my mom :)

And it's SOOOOOO good. It tastes like Mint Chip and is incredibly rich. Declan has already requested that we make this again, not necessarily this flavour, but the ice cream. He's a fan and so am I.

Oh wow, sounds quite easy! Thanks for the recipe.

It is easy. And delicious. Reusing the take out containers was also genius. I don't care if they crack and need to be tossed because they stack in the freezer really nicely and are easy to use.
